Netscape 4.x Compatibility Issue

Actually I was simply commenting on the fact that document.all should be
called as a *method* according to MSDN (though they use the expression
"document.all collection" quite frequently in the reference)- while I'd
advise using it with the array-like accessors, for the reasons explained
precedently.

document.all is a collection, since it can be accessed using square bracket
array notation: document.all[...].

The confusions is that collections in IE can also be accessed using "method
notation" or "vbscript array notation" or whatever you want to call it:
document.all(...), document.forms(...).elements(...), etc. which can lead to
massive confusion (and the source of many errors in other user agents).
